After contract award and completion of the evaluations in CLINs 0001-0002, the contractor shall provide quotations for option CLINs 0003-0004 repairs (If repair is possible) This requirement is being solicited on a Sole Source basis to General Dynamic Mission Systems (GDMS) as concurred with by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP). Rational for the decision to proceed with a sole source procurement is as follows:

Progeny Systems (now incorporated into GD-MS) is the OEM of this component. As GD and retains the proprietary information to these highly specialized components, they are the only company with the know-how, and experience to repair and properly perform post repair testing. The only alternative to procuring these repair serves through GDSM is procurement of new items from GDSM or an alternative sourse, resulting in duplicative costs and schedule impact, detrimental to mission.
